About Us
Eucalyptus is the company behind Juniper, one of the world’s largest weight management programs combining GLP‑1 medication with a tailored nutrition and exercise programme, supported by our multidisciplinary care team of prescribers, health coaches, dietitians, nurses and pharmacists. Our published clinical research demonstrates that our combined approach to weight management and lifestyle change increases the likelihood of our patients losing significant weight during their treatment with Juniper by four times. Since launching, we’ve grown fast to support millions of patients. In the last 12 months, we grew our patient base 10x in the UK, received selective NICE endorsement for our holistic approach to obesity management, grew our team from 50 to 200, grew revenue by >120% YoY, reduced cash burn by 90% YoY, and raised >$100M USD from global investors.
Our Vision
We want to build a trusted commerce layer that complements our clinical care, providing evidence‑backed, expert‑vetted, curated products and services that work. We aim to reimagine how patients discover, choose, and use products and services as part of their healthcare journey, seamlessly integrated into care, guided by data, and powered by trust.
About The Role
We’re looking for a founding leader to own and build this business. You’ll define the vision, shape the strategy, and execute the playbook for how health commerce can (finally) be done right.
* Shape the future – Set the long‑term strategy for Euc’s commerce layer: what it looks like, how it scales, and how it integrates into our broader preventative healthcare ecosystem.
* Curate the range – Predict trends across our different patient segments, and create a system that ensures each product and service is worthy to be recommended to our patients.
* Build supplier partnerships – Source, vet, and negotiate with suppliers and brands to deliver the best value and most trusted products.
* Design the experience – Work with product and design to create a seamless shopping experience embedded into care, not bolted on.
* Build the team & ops – Set up the operational backbone (supply chain, fulfilment, QA, compliance) and hire the team to scale it.
* Scale what works – Run structured experiments, track performance, and double down on what drives trust, adoption, and margin.
This role is equal parts merchant and operator — combining retail instincts about range, product, and brand with the execution skills to build a best‑in‑class e‑commerce operation from scratch.
About You
* Category & retail instincts – You know how to curate an assortment, predict trends, and build a range that balances patient needs, quality, and commercial performance.
* Supplier savvy – You’ve managed suppliers, negotiated terms, and built relationships that deliver both margin and brand credibility.
* E‑commerce experience – You’ve grown an online marketplace or D2C channel, ideally in health, wellness, nutrition, or beauty.
* Commercial driver – You understand P&L, unit economics, attach rates, and how to optimise for growth and margin.
* Operational grit – You know what it takes to run the backbone: fulfilment, QA, compliance, returns, and analytics.
* Healthcare & wellness interest – Reading and exploring the latest launches and scientific research doesn’t feel like work, it’s a genuine passion.
* Builder’s mindset – Excited to roll up your sleeves to build this from the ground up, while setting the bar for scale.
* Mission‑led – You care about creating a marketplace that patients can actually trust, in a category full of noise and fads.
Benefits
* Real impact fast – We build in the open together, which helps us learn and iterate more quickly so we can deliver high‑quality outcomes faster than anyone else. Helping impact patients’ lives for the better from the moment you join Euc.
* Career support – Regular feedback alongside bi‑annual performance reviews, a professional development budget & leave help ensure you have the support you need to level up. We’re committed to helping every Eucalypt reach their full potential.
* Collaborative environment – Work with others who are incredibly passionate about what they do. Our talent bar is high and our work ethic is strong. You’ll get to stretch yourself every day, be given autonomy to tackle interesting problems, and work amongst people who care deeply about our patients.
* Equity stake – Your own stake in the business with our employee options program.
* Wellness allowance – A monthly wellness allowance, for you to spend on whatever wellness means to you.
* Personal development budget – A yearly personal development budget and 3 extra days of leave to continuously up‑skill yourself.
* Holiday – 25 days holiday + bank holidays with an enhanced parental leave policy.
* Office culture – A fun office with regular socials including after‑school sport, clubs, cycle kick‑offs and seasonal parties.
* Hardware – Your own MacBook and more!
